Hnm, interesting there.
Surprised to see it coming outta NH.
Expected somethign like the Pakistani shop out of St Petersburg FLA.

I own a Susato PVC, if it's of any benefit to the question..
It was a great & cheap introduction to the low whisltle. ($45.00 US)
However, I now can see & hear the proablems it has.

I look forward to a Chieftain someday...

Cheers!

I seem to remember seeing that distinctive 'dotted' seamline and wood-look design on photos here some time back... doesn't someone from these boards make these?

never seen such low whistles before..not really my cup of tea, look-wise.

prob cuz the shape reminds me of these things, which I think are idiotic..

The eBay ad claims that it is a "7-hole design", but I only see the
normal 6 fingerholes in the pictures. I wonder if that means that it
has a Cnat thumbhole, or if they are counting the windway or the
bell opening as a "hole"...

It took me a bit, but I found a thread where these kind of plastic whistles were discussed before:

Well... there's the windway hole... ?? Maybe??
EDITED: well... duh... just like you said... sorry, I'm slow on the uptake today.
